Campbell, CA - October 11, 2006 -
BitMover, Inc., the leader in scalable, distributed source code
management, today announced the development of a new, open source
programming language called 'L'. L derives its simplicity and
productivity by drawing from both C and Perl, taking the best of each
to make a unique scripting language that has C-like variables (including
structs) and compile time type checking.
The C syntax that L shares makes the leap
for C programmers a tiny jump, while Perl's powerful associative arrays,
regular expressions and memory management makes them more productive
than ever. L is the most natural fit for any C programmer who needs a
fast, stable, dynamic environment for development.
The language will be used for Web and GUI programming and has a
BSD like license.
A paper describing the language is here.
